Breathe: Journeys to Healthy Binding | Maia Kobabe, Sarah Peitzmeier

2 posts | 2 read

A graphic guide to chest binding with real-life stories and research-backed advice from bestselling Gender Queer author MAIA KOBABE and University of Michigan professor SARAH PEITZMEIER. Breathe arose from the need for a resource for folks considering chest binding as gender-affirming care. Dr. Peitzmeier interviewed twenty-five people of different ages and backgrounds about their journeys with binding, and then she and Kobabe combined excerpts from those interviews with evidence-based resources on binding into this extremely accessible guide. Breathe is both a practical resource for trans and nonbinary folks and an engaging and perspective-broadening read for anyone interested in what it means to be on a journey of expressing one's gender in ways that are joyful, healthy, and affirming.

"Affirming your gender can be joyful and safe! If your current binding method isn't doing it for you, experiment with other methods. There is a better one out there for you." ?️‍⚧️

I read this to improve my understanding of the non-binary and transmasc experience of binding, and to inform my work in a general NHS counselling service, which is accessible for trans clients.

This graphic guide has personal accounts of several people who bind, ⬇️

Bookwomble ... advice on safe binding, exercises devised by physiotherapists specialising in trans healthcare, and some reflective exercises to develop insight into personal goals and and what may foster movement towards them

Kobabe and Peitzmeier provide an excellent introduction to the subject, with plenty of practical information for its main target readership. 5⭐ 1mo

This book is an amazing resource; I‘m so glad it exists. My heart hurts for those individuals who have attempted binding with ace bandages or duct tape (!!). Hopefully the information contained in this slim graphic novel will prevent the injuries that can be caused by binding unsafely.
